Expansion of Services: Texans Credit Union and Las Colinas Federal Credit Union Merger
In an exciting development for residents of North Texas, Texans Credit Union has officially merged with Las Colinas Federal Credit Union. This strategic move is set to enhance financial services for members across the region while also expanding the organization's branch network significantly.
Texans Credit Union has made known that this partnership will result in the addition of three new branches and over 10,000 members to their existing network. The increase aims to strengthen their capabilities and provide broader access to essential financial services for their growing community. The merge signifies a pivotal step in Texans Credit Union's growth strategy while remaining committed to their mission of serving members effectively and meaningfully.
Retaining Employee Continuity
An essential aspect of this merger is the commitment to operational continuity. The existing branches of Las Colinas Federal Credit Union will maintain their operations, continuing under the Texans Credit Union brand. Current employees will retain their roles, ensuring familiarity and a continued personal touch for the existing members. This approach not only safeguards jobs but reinforces trust with current customers who appreciate the service continuity during the transition phase.
Leadership Perspectives

Frazier stated, "We are grateful that Las Colinas Federal Credit Union saw Texans as a trusted partner to continue serving its members.
